Dynamometer up for grabs FREE!

Surrey University have a Froude DPX0 water dyno up for grabs.

Run a chain drive from the gearbox sprocket so easy to set-up.

Carl,

I think you should be looking for a coolant assist pump from a Ford Galaxy or VW Sharan.

We run one of these on Aidan's machine (Bosch part).


The trouble with the caravan water supply pumps is that while they are about 1/3 of the cost of the above, they are not designed for high water temperture (60 deg C), only water at ambient temp. They also take a very high current and flatten the battery quickly.


You pays your money and you takes your choice.

Hi Pete can you get the bosch part number off said pump? or VW number ? and get Aiden to express an opinion on drops??

Hi Mike,

Getting the part number will probably be more easy than getting Aidan's opinion on drops, but I will try on both.

Out of interest the pump we are using came from some tests we were doing back in 1986, but I know that George Farenden found a very similar part on his recent Galaxy.

I am due to log onto the works system on wednesday...
